Fat Quarters

A single fat quarter bundle will usually give you enough material to sew a quilt top and still have fabric leftover. Quilt patterns frequently use fat quarters because their area allows you to cut many pieces. Lots of other sewing projects suggest using this pre-cut too. In fact, you can find books filled with patterns for toys, bags, gifts, and more, each using one or more fat quarters. Whether you pick up one fat quarter or a whole stack, these little cuts of fabric can be a big help in your next patchwork project using needle and thread.
